Deena Stryker photographs, 1963-1964 and undated.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/233599059

Collection contains photographs and related material from Stryker's time spent in Cuba as a journalist for Paris Match. During her stay, she interviewed Fidel and Raúl Castro as well as other major figures in the Cuban Revolution, including Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Celia Sánchez, and René Vallejo. The Correspondence Series contains letters of introduction to Fidel Castro from Stryker as well as one written by Sánchez and a diagram drawn by Raúl Castro. Stryker's analysis of the complexities of nascent post-revolution Cuba are captured in a draft of the book she prepared for publication in Italy, housed in the Manuscript Material Series. The Photographic Material Series contains Stryker's contact sheets, prints, and negatives. Topics and photographic subjects include key members of the revolutionary government at work and relaxing, life in Havana, and in rural Cuba, particularly farms, development projects, and schools. Photographic material was processed by Alberto Korda, Fidel Castro's personal photographer. All of Stryker's negatives have been digitized and these images are available to the public in their digital form; there are some prints and contact sheet images not represented digitally.
